yellow elise with black rims

Nuff sed. BMWs are far too common,everyman withb at least a grand gets a 3 series.The only 3 series' worth havin are the 330Ci with sporty bodykit and the M3/M3 convertable

The AMG mercs are proper good.One guy on DDC has one.Its ****in mega and will soon be pushin 600 BHP

Nice but thats silly, i would probly never be able to afford that so brings back to the subject plz!

Go for the BMW like ive said to you all along hun

But the lotus elise is sooooo sexy tho!!

Anyone that calls an elise girly has never been in one and to some extent they could be gay for overlooking a good car just because they're got a bad persona of it.

Talking from experience of being in one thats been de-catted and has a induction kit, its fantastic, its definetly one of the best handling cars i've been in, damn fast too for a n/a car, definetly a car you can have fun in But, its not to practical, getting in and out of them is anoying, even for us blokes that dont wear skirts, the roof takes more than a minuite to put back together, no carpet doesnt make it feel to cosy either. But, its effectivly a race car for the road, great car, but i'd only have one if i had something else i could run around in

hth

Well am thinkin about running the elise and still havin me gsi for takin me mum to the shops lol!!

thanxs for the help mate (MisterAdam)

Sounds like a plan

Your not going to be able to drive a soft top race car all the time as it will get anoying, sounds like it'd be great to have a sports car to drive all the time but the bumpy ride, noise, lack of music and carpets will make you hate the car if your in out in the pissing down rain etc.

Definetly keep the corsa, it'll make you appriciate the elise more when u drive that

Look into if they have leaky roofs or not, the guy who owned the one i went in said it leaks from time to time, and your gonna have to take me out in it when/if you get it lol

Booked atest drive of the 160 model the fella wants £13000 for it its in bright yellow too!!! can't wait bring saturday on!!!

Mate of mine has an Elise at the moment as a loan car whilst his Fiat Coupe is being repaired under warrenty, and says he loves it though he says he could only put up with the impracticallity of it if it was a second car - he couldnt live with it day in day out...

What elise has he got?? cud ya tell me wat sort of things go on them!!??

Dunno, its just the bog std one, summut to do with the warrenty company provinding another performance car if his needed warrenty work.

His car is a Fiat Coupe, the Elise is the courtesy car, and he says its very impractical

does anyone know what sort of problems you have with the early shape lotus elise

"K" Series engine, so headgasket problems are common
